[askpearl]

[CharlxDD]

LOL. i have the same drumkit and i actually suck. ;D

[tortillajam]

yeah just that little part of gold lion sounded good! do the whole song :)

[ventilize]

so have you named it yet?

[toringbearer]

Still haven't really had a name-worthy moment with this little guy. It'll come to me... :)

[PersonalJesus348]

Johnny

[toringbearer]

my acoustic's name is Johnny! What kind of mother gives two of her kids the same name? ;)

[mattatat819]

well, i am a drummer myself, and soon ill be posting A LOT of pumpkins song covers on drums because they my favorite band. and i would suggest watching other people play drums like on youtube or buy a cheap drumming dvd i see em at guitar center for like 5 bucks each. but what im basically trying to say is, you need to study the basic techniques before you can go any further. for instance, i learned to play by watching my dad for countless hours. you'll get it right sooner or later :)

[toringbearer]

I've been thinking about buying some DVDs. Thanks for the pointers :) I'm pretty overwhelmed with this thing... keyboard wasn't too hard to learn after playing guitar for years, but drums are a whole other beast hehehe

[HethenBlackhand]

hmm wow, any updates on this puppy? I have been trying drum loop progs and I had one small 3 pad electronic machine, but I just cant seem to find something that is easy to pick up..

and well I was just thinking earlier of something exactly like this contraption.

[toringbearer]

I still have absolutely no skill, but it's definitely fun to bang around on haha. And if you can find one used and have the motivation to learn, I'm sure this thing will be just fine. Search yamaha dd55 on youtube and you'll find some videos of people who know what they're doing. This thing is pretty impressive if the right person is playing it!

[huezo92703]

Dang, why is it that you always cover my most favorite songs? You rock, so rock the flock on.

[pcmxms]

you do have a clue how to play this. Nice videos!

[kalanikai]

awesome. simply awesome. :)

[acidprincess252]

daaamn!! like 4 days ago, i was thinking i could buy a drum thingy, just like the one you've got... ¬¬

i feel a little bit jealous, congratulations though =D!!!!

[ibechane]

Most important thing about starting drums is knowing exactly how/where to hold the sticks and making sure you don't play in a way that'll stress your wrists. Don't build bad habits! (sorry, teacher in me) Looks fun though

[toringbearer]

Hey, teach away! Somebody's got to... clearly. hahhaa. I'll get my buddy to help me out with technique and whatnot. :)

[schuermurrman]

OMG!!! I want this family member....can it come for a visit to my home!!! What fun!!

[toringbearer]

Fun indeed! My family hates me already, though... hahahaha and they thought the guitar was bad ;)

[snafuedem]

[bocyeah]

[beholderof]
